I don't think I've ever seen a ratio quite like this. It warms my heart.

If I wanted to write an article with the specific intent of dissuading people from organ donation the article linked below is the one I would write.
Death is not simply a biological fact, but it's also a social choice. To increase the number of donor organs, we should expand the definition of death. An op-ed I wrote with Snehal Patel and Deane Smith in the @nytimes today. via @NYTOpinion.

RT @DrNo_Reformed: The #1 scientific journal says covid promotes cancer. So we continue to inject the toxic part of covid into ourselves?….

We (his brother and I) actually did this. It's great to be young and at least a bit reckless despite what I said above.
@StrangerJosh11 I am not swimming out on a raft into the ocean with you and my brother to a pylon 500 yards from shore again, there are sharks out there, does not make any difference how profound you try to make it sound.

I think one of the best and most overlooked pieces of advice for young people is to take more (properly calculated) risks. Risk aversion taken to the extreme is one of the biggest real risks many people take.

It's important to know when to lean in, and when to swerve. The next 10 years are a time to swerve.

I firmly believe that those that embrace the analog over the digital will have an unappreciated advantage over the next few decades.

On the one hand it's a small tragedy that public libraries are discarding books like this by the thousands if not millions. On the other hand it's a small blessing that you can buy them for your own personal library on the cheap.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that it's not a matter of their population falling by a couple hundred million, It's a matter of the young population base rapidly collapsing. South Korea is about a decade ahead and provides a road map as to how it will play out.

Some of you have taken exception to my claim above. However, it is true unless some drastic changes occur soon.

It's significantly easier for a rocket scientist to be a novelist than vice versa. I'm sorry, but I don't make the rules.

I'm going to challenge my good mutual below on his take.
People who can write a good novel or the like generally have no ability to design rockets. Rocket scientists likewise have no ability to write a novel. In most cases neither group could be trained to do the work of the other.

The Stasi itself would be impressed by this level of authoritarianism.
Free speech is over in the UK. Here's what the UK Government Can Now Do Under the Online Safety Act:. - Scan your private messages (WhatsApp, iCloud, Signal).- Censor protest videos from X and YouTube.- Force ID checks and facial scans to access social media.- Search your cloud

Anytime time you criticize any aspect of China strange bots with May 2025 accounts appear to set you straight. They're really dedicated to this bit.

Almost none of the children attending this school has a single brother or sister, few have cousins. In 20 years this building will either be abandoned or repurposed as a senior living facility.
🇨🇳 This is a recently renovated public school in Shenzhen. Something tells me Chinese students are going to keep crushing the international assessment rankings.

I'm assuming that the "car seen in" spottings are just automated license plate readers along the interstate.
